Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with greathonour and previledge that i was able to
capture your
contact from theinternet.My Name is Mr. Mandla Kwame Goliko
,a citizen
of
South Africaand a credit officer of the Lloyds TSB Group plc
Uk.Before
the
U.S andIraqi war our Customer Mr. Louis Campher who is a
national of
your
country and who (in this case I am his accounting officer)
was withthe
Omega Risk Solutions in Iraq and also an Oil
consultant/contractorwith
the
South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy made
anumbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months with our bank valued at
US$43,000,000.00,(Fourty-Three Million United state
Dollars).Uponmaturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war,and
alsoa reminder
and
finally we discovered from his contract employers thatMr
Louis Campher
was
killed in an attack on their convey whiletravelling from one
construction
sight to another during the USA-IraqiWar.
The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution,and
asthe
accounting
officer to Mr. Louis Campher I was mandated to providehis
next of kin
for
the payment of this money within 28 working daysor forfeit
the money to
the
bank as an abandoned property.Furtherinvestigations revealed
that Mr.
Louis
Campher did not declare anynext of kin in his official
papers including
the
paper work of hisbank deposit. And he also confided in me
the last time
he
was at myoffice that no one except me knew of his deposit in
my bank.
So,
Fourty-Three Million United state Dollars is still lying in
mybank,and
no
one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers memost
is that The
Directors of my bank had planned to invoke theabandoned
property decree
of
1996 to confiscate the funds after theexpiration of the
period given to
me,Despairing at the point ofexhaustiveness but fortunately,
I came
across
your name, and to myutmost amazement, you are a nationals of
the same
country. mysuggestion to you is that I will like you to
stand as the
next
of kinto Mr. Louis Campher so that you will be able to
receive
thisfunds.
However,I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kinto the
Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from
thesame
country.I
have contacted an attorney that will prepare thenecessary
document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Mr.Louis Campher.All
I require
is
your honest cooperation to enable ussee this deal through. I
guarantee
that
this will be executed under alegitimate arrangement that
will protect
you
from any breach of law.BeInform also that we shall share the
funds in
the
ratio 50% for me and45% for you, while 5% should be for
Expenses or Tax
as
your Governmentmay require.Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion
in
allmatters concerning this issue.I will bring you into a
more detailed
picture of this transaction when I hear from you.Your

this letter will be appreciated via my private email
